if i dive using air and nitrox up to 40%, can i use the same console for both?

Bob(Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com):

Yes. Mares is using a very strict "CYA" policy in terms of liability. The manufacture's policy is the word when it comes right down to it, and regardless of our personal opinion and knowledge of it, when it boils right down to it, if the manufacturer says their gear can't be used in a certain way, then it's typically best to not use their equipment that way.

UseThe submersible pressure gauge is a safety device for monitoring residual air pressurein the tank, designed to be used as part of a SCUBA set (open-circuit, self-containedunderwater breathing apparatus). The pressure gauge must be assembled onthe regulator first stage by means of the high pressure hose connected to the gauge.The pressure gauge can be used at temperatures below 10°C.

Assembly

1) Locate the high pressure ports on the regulator first stage (refer to the instructionmanual of the regulator; the high pressure ports on the first stage may be markedwith the letters “HP” or with the maximum pressure rating) and, following theinstructions, remove the plug from the chosen port.2 ) Remove the thread protection cap before connecting the hose to the regulator firststage.3) Screw the hose fully into the high pressure port of the regulator first stage. Tightenfirmly but carefully, using a 14-mm hex

StorageAfter use, it is recommended that you rinse the instrument in fresh water while it is stillassembled on the regulator, to prevent water from penetrating inside the hose.Allow to dry in air, and then put the instrument away, taking care to replace the special threadprotection cap on the hose. The instrument should be stored in a dry place,protected from heat sources and direct light, without bending the hose too tightly (minimumbend radius 20 cm).

Maintenance• Avoid exposing the instrument to direct sunlight or sources of heat.• Treat the gauge like a precision instrument and avoid bumps or knocks.• Rinse in fresh water after every dive. It is recommended that the 108 O-ring Vitrongasket, located on the threads of hose coupling which connects to the pressure reducer, bereplaced periodically.Any maintenance or repairs must obligatorily be performed by Mares or its authorizedpersonnel.
